TAX RETURN PROBLEM

REQUIREMENT

1. Prepare a 2015 tax return using H&R BLOCK Tax Cut or other tax preparation software

2. Write a tax memo/letter advising the Quigleys how to improve their tax position.

Use the same information as the Manual problem subject to the following revisions:

The Quigleys updated their exterior windows in their primary residence last year. The new windows exceed the energy efficiency criteria established by the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) for the climate zone. They have brought the manufacturer's certification along. The cost of the new windows total $3,700.

Bill's Bargain Books sold $189,000 of merchandise. They had a beginning inventory of $56,800 and an ending inventory of $92,400. All other expenses/transactions remained the same except Bill does not elect to take §179 expensing or additional first year depreciation on his office furniture purchase; but does elect to take the §179 deduction for the computer system. He made quarterly estimated Federal income tax payments of $600 on January, April, June and September, 2015 ($2,400 in total payments). Michigan estimated income tax payments were $200 per quarter or $800 for the year.

The Quigley's sold 1,000 shares of Capp Corp stock they had received as a wedding present on June 25, 2000. The stock was worth $6 per share in January but had had dropped to $4 per share on September 3 when the Quigleys sold the stock on that date. They had been given the stock by Bill's father, who paid $14 per share for it in 1972. Its value at the date of gift was $17.50 per share. No gift tax was paid on the gift. (The Quigley's basis is $14 per share.)

Bill is contemplating the Affordable Health Care Act provisions and the effect they will have on his business operations. He wonders how to keep his business profitable, how to best take advantage of available tax deductions and credits and how they can plan more efficiently to minimize their tax burden while increasing their wealth.

What advice can you offer the Quigleys on how they can improve their current tax situation and improve their tax planning process for next year?

Compose a 2 page tax memo or a client letter to the Quigleys enumerating all of your tax recommendations and the reasons why the proposed changes make sense.

You have helped me previously with a tax return problem, and now I have another problem set that builds upon the previous problem. I am wondering if you can take a look at the attached file and see if you can help me out again. The first file (ACCT 315 computerized tax return problem...) is the assignment that must be completed. All other attached files are the previous problem set and its solutions that I have acquired from you, so you can add/ build/ reconstruct to formulize a solution for this current problem. My score for the previous assignment was 87/100, which I am very satisfied with. Here are some of the suggestions that my professor made for the assignment: Thank you Mohammed, please review for the following corrections: Form 1040: Lines 8a, 9a, 13, 17, 21, 27, 28, 40, 42, 49. AGI is $149,388 refund is $3,944. Schedule A: Lines 1, 3, 5, 8, 16, 20, 21, 26 Schedule C: Lines 10, 17, 26, 27a. If these corrections are too much, not to worry about. I am looking for minimum 80-85 score. Thank you again.
